Chapter 136


    Luca’s POV


    I didn’t really know what it was that had woken me up exactly, all I was sure about, was the fact that


    there was something like a weird noise sounding around me, like it wasing from a spot right beside


    my head, and that sound had kept increasing and heightening up until it had ended up dragging me


    right of the deep sleep that I had been in, a close second ago.


    I blinked my eyes awake and stared up into my roof, my brainzily finding it hard for me to


    bad time, because it took over a minute for me to realize that the sounds which I had been hearing right


    from my sleep, hadn’t been my imagination, and had been happening in real life, right there beside me


    on my bed.


    My eyes widened as my eyes zeroed in on a sobbing Sofia and my heart had a skipped s few


    heartbeats at that very moment, as I pushed myself up into a sitting position.


    I shifted closer towards her, and slowly realized that she wasn’t even awake yet, and had been crying


    right from her sleep.


    She wasn’t even crying, it was more like she was whimpering like a wounded puppy, but it was way


    more stronger and pitiful than that of a puppy.


    “Sofia?” I called out while still staring at her, trying to block out the sounds of her whimpers and how it


    was literally wrenching my heart, coupled with the fact that her tear stricken face was messing with my


    head. My heart was really fast and all I wanted to do at this very moment was to kill whoever it was that


    was behind what was happening to her at the moment.


    “Sofia?” I called out once again and got nothing in reply, except the fact that she had started to full on


    sob after a few moments, and I stared at her helplessly, not knowing what it was that I was supposed to


    do at a situation like this.


    It was obvious enough that she was having a bad dream at the moment, but how do I wake her up and


    pull her out of it. I reached out and touched her bare arm, using it to shake her a little, in hopes of


    making here awake and get her out of whatever it was that she was facing in her head.


    It didn’t help a bit because she didn’te awake, and had instead started to whisper jumbled up


    words that sounded so much like broken pleas, and it made my heart squeeze really tightly in the


    middle of my chest that I found it hard to breath for a few seconds.


    Shoving all thoughts to the wind as well as everything in mind that wes trying to make me understand


    that what I was about to do was a really bad idea, and that you shouldn''t do it, but I ignored it and


    shifted even closer to Sofia’s body until my body was touching hers. It was the first time our bodies


    were going to be touching each other on the bed, and it sent a warm feeling into my body… I just


    wished it didn’t have to be this kind of incident that would have a hand in making our bodies touch each


    other for the first time here on this bed.


    Trying to block out the sounds of her voivr breaking as each whispered and stuttered pleas slipped past


    her lips, as well as more sobs– out of my ears as I got even closer to her, I stretched out my hand out


    and slipped the first one underneath her body, pulling her into my arms immediately. I dragged her


    body up until my arms were circling her body and I was holding her fully in my arms, hating the way my


    bare chest was getting wet super fast, due to the tears she was shedding.


    “Sofia? You’re alright, yeah?” I murmured in a low voice as I started to stroke my hand down her back,


    while my other hand held her firmly into my body. I was trying my very best to offer her as much


    found my way into her hair and I started to run my fingers through the roots, pulling her even closer to


    me and hoping I’d be able to wake her up this way.


    It took a few more minutes until her cries started to quieten down, and after a few more moments, her


    body stiffened against my body all of a sudden, which was the proof that I needed, to make it known to


    me that she was finally awake, or was about to.


    “Shh, it’s only me.” I whispered against her hair and pulled her even closer towards my chest, and I felt


    how fast her heart was beating against mine, which pointed out the fact that I was really nervous at the


    moment.


    I had no idea if she was evenpletely out of her head yet, or if she was still thinking she was still


    dreaming.


    “Sofia?” I called out and tightened my arms around her when she started to struggle like she was about


    to get out of my arms.


    “Let me go…” She stuttered out in a small voice and I breathed out a low sigh, this wasn’t helping one


    bit, it was obvious that she was still in her head.


    “Sofia? It’s Luca,” I whispered against her head once again, purposely making my voice a little louder


    than it was before, in order to try to prate into her head, but she started to shake violently against


    my body, her body trembling against mine, and I knew what I had to do in the next second to stop all


    these.


    I rolled us around until my body was nketing herspletely, trying to convince a voice in my head


    that I wasn’t nning on doing a damn thing to get at the moment, and was only doing this because it


    was obvious she needed it in order toe back to reality.


    I pressed my body down on hers with my second hand still buried in her hair, and my heart broke as I


    stared at her face which was wet with tears, with her eyes still squeezed close and her head shaking


    from side to side.


    “Sofia?” I called out while watching her and at the same time allowed almost all my weight to drop


    down on hers, in order to make her feel the weight on her, and hopefully help her get out of her head,


    because this was really unusual for me and at this point, I was running out of stuffs to do, in order to


    help her.


    It thankfully worked before she finally gasped out shakily and fluttered her eyshes which were wet


    with tears, and stared up at me with eyes which were ssy and really wet with tears.


    “You’re alright, ok?” I whispered to her, my face only a few feet away from hers and I watched as she


    kept on staring at me like she couldn’t believe what was happening, and was just starting to piece all


    what was happening around her all at once.


    “Nothing’s going to happen to you, alright?” I said to her as I brought my other hand around and


    cradled her face in my hand and I watched as her eyes fluttered once again, tears spilling out from both


    her eyes, as well as a choked sob which slipped past her lips, just as her eyes slid close.


    Knowing that she wasn’t in her head anymore and had thankfully woken up was enough for me, this


    breakdown which was happening at the moment wasn’t much I knew I’d be able to handle it. I turned


    us around once again, taking her along with me and rolling around until she was almostying on top of


    me, my arms closed around her almost immediately and I was pulling her against me even more.


    “Shh, you’re alright, nothing’s going to happen to you.” I whispered soothingly with my fingers once


    again returning back to moving lightly throughout her hair, with my other hand holding her firmly against


    my body.


    “It was only a dream, it can''t be able to get to you here, alright?” I continued to speak, my voiceing


    out really softly as I stroked my fingers through her hair, and after some time, she finally started to


    quieten up, the feeling it tears running down my chest wasn’t as frequent as it was some minimum ago.


    “You’re safe here, alright? You’re safe now.” I continued, pressing my lips against her head for a few


    moments before pulling her even more against me.


    She hadpletely gone quiet after a few more minutes, leaving us in a nket of quietness which


    was quietly disrupted by the sound of her sniffing on and on.


    “Um, can I– can I leave your embrace?” Her voice came out quiet, low, hoarse and scratchy, and I felt


    my heart tightened almost immediately, that I pulled her agdinst my body and tightened my hold on her


    without even realizing it.


    “No.” I replied and realized just how I had sounded to my own ears.


    “You can’t leave my embrace, you’re sleeping in it tonight, alright?” I rephrased, my lips moving against


    her forehead as I spoke and her skin felt warm against my lips.


    A few moments passed before her quiet voice cut through the nket of silence above us.


    “O- okay.”


    I held her firmly and didn’t stop moving my fingers through her hair, feeling her stiff body start to finally


    rx slowly against my body, some minutester and she had finally fallen asleep in my arms, her


    bodypletely against mine, and almost on mine.


    I moved my nose through her hair and breathed in deeply, pulling her more closely so that her head fit


    beneath my neck perfectly, and I fell back asleep after a few more minutes, with my arms still wrapped


    firmly around Sofia.All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.
